Volcán San Pedro is the oldest of three stratovolcanoes constructed within the roughly 85,000-year-old Atitlán III caldera, with a forested cone that rises above the SW side of Lake Atitlán. Santiago bay, a narrow 8-km-long inlet of Lake Atitlán, separates the eastern flank of San Pedro from the slopes of Volcán Tolimán. The shallow summit crater is breached to the NW and partially filled by lava. Two cinder cones were constructed in the moat between San Pedro and the SW Atitlán caldera wall. The age of the most recent activity of San Pedro is unknown, although it is more vegetated and erosionally modified than the Tolimán and Atitlán volcanoes, and does not display evidence of fumarolic activity.
